EU-Backed DNS Resolver Collects Pirate Site Blocklist, Which It Doesn’t Use

DNS4EU is a relatively young DNS provider that launched last year with European Commission funding. The company is pitched as a privacy-first alternative to Google and Cloudflare, but it also comes with site blocking in mind. DNS4EU has shown an interest in pirate site blocklists, including the one that's maintained by Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN. After looking into it, however, DNS4EU decided not to use them, because BREIN isn't a government authority.

Best Of: Laverne Cox /Comic Ali Siddiq

For over a decade, Laverne Cox has been one of the most visible trans women in America. In her new memoir, ‘Transcendent,’ she writes about growing up in Mobile, Ala., and the bullying and harassment she faced. She says she survived it by going somewhere else in her mind, often through music and dance.

Also, we hear from comic Ali Siddiq. He served six years in a Texas prison and turned his life into some of the most-watched storytelling in comedy.

Semafor reports that Mythos can now be released to select companies. Also:

The letter is silent on Fable 5, a weaker version of Mythos that was briefly the most powerful AI model widely available to consumers. People close to the talks said they are moving toward releasing Fable as well, though that timeline is unclear.

Presumably the company list is the same for both Mythos and GPT-5.6 announced today. Whether intended or not, the way this was handled has effectively pulled back Anthropic’s perceived lead by a couple weeks, perhaps aligning the latest frontier releases.

Two newly confirmed "super-puff" planets are so diffuse that they are less dense than cotton candy, despite being about the size of Jupiter. Their rare orbital relationship and enormous, lightweight atmospheres could provide valuable clues about how some of the strangest planets in the galaxy come to exist.
